I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 632 Bathing in Thunder Tribulation, Physical Refining Breakthrough (4k2, for the leader to update quickly, there will be rewards and extra chapters)

There are usually two ways to train the body.

One is medicinal nourishment, which uses the medicinal power of secret body-refining medicine to increase physical strength.

The other is self-destruction, using the principle of "destruction followed by construction" to raise the self-upper limit of the body cultivator.

There is no superiority or inferiority between the two approaches.

But the former would be safer.

From the time he started to cultivate his body in the foundation-building stage till now, Wei Tu's way of achieving breakthroughs in body cultivation has basically been the first one, using the power of secret body-refining medicine to raise his body-refining realm.

The second type is something that Wei Tu has basically never tried.

This is not because Wei Tu has no ambition or is unwilling to endure hardships, but because low-level body cultivators "break down and then rebuild", and are extremely likely to suffer hidden injuries in the process. On the surface, it seems that there has been a breakthrough in their body cultivation, but in fact they have ruined their own path.

However, things are different now.

After he broke through the fourth level of body refining and condensed the "first spiritual bone", he already had the ability to regenerate his flesh and blood, and it was very difficult for him to get hurt secretly again.

Secondly, the thunder is extremely pure and yang, and is also the best secret medicine for body refining in the world, which can help cultivators temper their bodies.

The ancient body cultivators had been bathed in thunder and lightning, and used the power of thunder to be reborn from the ashes.

However, because the power of the thunder is too great and the immortal cultivators have no ability to regenerate flesh and blood and no need to train their bodies, they end up treating the heavenly thunder as the most dangerous and untouchable thing in the world.

But for that.

Wei Tu was naturally calm and fearless.

When the third thunderbolt descended, he did not dodge or evade. Instead, he put the magical treasure "Xuanling Gold Chain" into his sleeve and used his physical strength to resist this green thunderbolt that contained the awe-inspiring power of heaven.

In an instant.

A thunderbolt as thick as an arm struck from the sky and exploded directly on Wei Tu's body. Electric arcs flew everywhere, and Wei Tu was charred from head to toe. His body swayed, as if he was about to fall from the sky.

At this moment, except for Venerable Han Yue, all the cultivators in Jishan Sect who were watching Wei Tu transcend the tribulation couldn't help but breathe hard.

Is it success or failure?

It was difficult for them to sense the power of the magical treasure "Xuanling Gold Chain" on Wei Tu. They only knew that at this moment, Wei Tu had a sign of failure in transcending the tribulation!
Including Venerable Han Yue...

His heart was not as calm as his expression at this moment.

He was different from the other practitioners of Jishan Sect. He sensed clearly that after Wei Tu had withstood this thunderbolt, under the scorched and dead air on the surface, he still had plenty of vitality!
Moreover, it seems to be giving birth to a new life.

The Venerable Huashen was able to withstand a thunderbolt and not die from it, but Wei Tu's "rebirth" made him worried.

It was nothing else, he saw from this that Wei Tu had the potential to break through to the late fourth stage of body refining.

A mere fourth-level body-refining cultivator poses no threat to a Spirit Transformation Venerable.

But if a Spiritual Transformation Venerable of the same level possesses the physical refining strength of the late fourth stage, that would be a different matter.

……

Click!Click!
After a few breaths, under the gaze of the Jishan Sect's practitioners, Wei Tu, who had already been charred black, suddenly tore open the outer layer of "cocoon" and walked out.

His skin was fresh, tender and white. If it weren't for the arcs of lightning that were like lightning snakes all over his body after the explosion of thunder, no one would have recognized that this was Wei Tu who was just enduring the tribulation of becoming a god.

"I have reached the peak of the fourth stage of physical training..."

Wei Tu clenched his fists, feeling delighted. Although he had only advanced a small realm, he had to know that this was only a bolt of lightning from the heavenly tribulation, which lasted for just over ten breaths.

If it were an ordinary time, it would take him several decades to cross this small realm, even with the secret medicine for body refining.

"This time, I must take advantage of this opportunity to break through to the late fourth stage of physical training."

Wei Tu raised his head, looked at the fourth thunder that was brewing in the sky, and secretly made up his mind.

Once he achieves this state, with the protection of the "Xuanling Golden Chain", he will have a certain ability to protect himself even when facing a veteran master like Venerable Han Yue. He will not be greatly constrained by this person in the Jishan Sect due to his strength problems after he enters the stage of transformation.

Lean less.

Following a loud thunder, the fourth thunder, which was several times more powerful than the third one, suddenly struck down and landed on Wei Tu's body again.

The practitioners held their breath again, waiting for their fellow disciple Wei Tu to attain divine enlightenment and continue to perform miracles.

Before this, when Wei Tu first broke through the stage of transformation into a god, in addition to being surprised, they each had their own little plans.

Some are looking forward to Wei Tu's success in becoming a god.

Some were expecting Wei Tu to fail in his attempt to become a god.

However, after seeing that Wei Tu had the guts to withstand the thunder of the divine tribulation with his physical body, they no longer had any other thoughts and were certain that Wei Tu would succeed in overcoming the tribulation.

Now, they have only one expectation - that is, Wei Tu, the "powerful god", will become even more powerful after successfully overcoming the tribulation.

After all, Wei Tu's strength at this moment has made them no longer feel the slightest bit of jealousy towards him.

And after Wei Tu has passed the tribulation, the benefits it will bring to Jishan Sect and their top leaders will be absolutely real.

Boom!

The fourth thunderbolt fell, and this time Wei Tu did not turn into charcoal again. He once again withstood the bombardment of the thunderbolt, but the amplitude of his shaking was a little greater than before.

The fifth and sixth thunderbolts struck again...

Until the seventh thunderbolt fell.

Wei Tu's status has changed.

Above his head, a half-inch-sized "golden man" suddenly appeared. This golden man was like a living creature, swimming in the lightning arcs that overflowed around Wei Tu.

"Palace Master Wei's incarnation of the spirit?"

All the cultivators were shocked and doubtful.

They had never seen such a small-sized Divine Transformation Dharma Image before. It was incomparable to the Divine Transformation Dharma Image at the Quasi-Divine Transformation level.

However, Jishan Sect is a sect of the God Transformation Realm after all, and there are still many knowledgeable people who recognized the true origin of the "golden little man" above Wei Tu's head.

The late stage of the fourth stage of body refining—the spiritual body appears for the first time!
"Spiritual body! The spiritual body unique to the fourth-stage late-stage body refiners! Wei Tu... has reached the fourth-stage late-stage of body refinement."

Sect Leader Zhu and the others looked serious and murmured to themselves.

It is difficult to achieve body refining, and the fourth level of body refining is rare in the world, and one is qualified to become a disciple under the command of the Divine Transformation Master.

The late fourth stage of body refining is even rarer in the world, and it is rare to see one in a thousand years.

Today, among the six sects of Xuan Dao, only a handful of people have reached the late fourth stage of body refining.

"Spiritual body?"

The cultivators were surprised to hear this, and wondered what the difference was between this "physical cultivation of the spiritual body" and the "transformation of the spirit".

But the next moment, they saw it.

When the eighth thunder fell.

The golden little man made a hand gesture and transformed into a golden armor made of golden light, which fell on Wei Tu's body.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Tu, whose body was bathed in golden light, raised his right arm and actually caught the falling lightning with one hand and collided with it directly.

This scene immediately shocked all the practitioners who were watching.

You know, although Wei Tu also endured the baptism of thunder with his physical body before, it was all passive, and the power of the thunder he endured was attenuated to a certain extent.

Now, this is actively welcoming the thunder, the power of the thunder is 100%, without any reduction.

"This is the domineering nature of the body cultivator."

Venerable Han Yue looked cautious as he pondered.

Although the power scale of the fourth-stage late-stage body cultivator is far inferior to that of the God Transformation Venerable, and does not have the ability of the God Transformation Venerable to pry open the five elements of heaven and earth, its power belongs to itself, and in terms of power intensity, in a short period of time, it is comparable to the God Transformation Venerable. This is the advantage and disadvantage of the two paths in the cultivation system.

One is the aspect of magic power.

One is the spirit in the flesh.

But now, Wei Tu, who practiced both Dharma and body, has combined them into one and gained the best of both worlds.

"This person should only be befriended, not offended."

Venerable Han Yue re-evaluated Wei Tu in his heart.

Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, this was the fact. Wei Tu, who had just achieved enlightenment, was not yet a match for the veteran god in terms of strength. But in time, after a few hundred years, it would be easy for him to surpass him!
And hundreds of years...

For Venerable Huashen, it was not a long time and could probably be passed in a period of meditation.

……

Wei Tu, who was undergoing the tribulation, did not know what Venerable Han Yue was thinking at the moment, but he showed his physical strength, which was intended to serve as a kind of power deterrence to Venerable Han Yue.

Otherwise, under the premise that his body refining realm had been broken, he would not continue rashly to face the more powerful eighth thunder.

In the art of body training, there is also the principle of "too much is as bad as too little".

Showing weakness can bring about peace, but the prerequisite is that the gap between the two sides is too large, there is no conflict of interest, and the stronger side has no intention of harming others.

But obviously, the relationship between him and Venerable Han Yue did not meet this premise.

After he becomes a god, he will be able to strengthen the Jishan Sect and bring benefits to the Jishan Sect, but he will also, to a certain extent, squeeze out the "ecological niche" of Venerable Han Yue.

In particular, he is not a direct descendant of the Jishan School.

His background as a casual cultivator had both good and bad sides. Now that he was here, it was a clear disadvantage - it would make it difficult for him to gain the deep trust of Venerable Han Yue and the other cultivators of Jishan Sect.

Therefore, at this moment, "power deterrence" became his inevitable measure to seek peaceful coexistence with Venerable Han Yue.

Let him understand how high the cost of dealing with him and offending him is.

After finishing his thoughts, Wei Tu dissipated the "spiritual power" on his body, took out the "Xuanling Gold Chain", and began to deal with the ninth thunder.

The ninth thunder of tribulation is the last one and also the most powerful one among the normal heavenly tribulations.

He did not dare to be careless about this.

"Go!" While he was offering up the Xuanling Gold Chain, he also offered up the Wan Qingshan and other magical weapons, and pasted some defensive talismans on his body, ready to face the thunder tribulation with all his strength.

After a while, a green thunderbolt that was nearly half as thick as the eighth thunderbolt emerged from the thundercloud and transformed into a thunder dragon, biting towards him.

However, due to the reduction of magic weapons and talismans, although the ninth thunderbolt was extremely powerful, when it fell on Wei Tu, it was only 30% of its original size.

"At this point, the heavenly tribulation is over."

Wei Tu raised his head, looked towards the clear blue sky where the calamity clouds had dissipated, exhaled a breath, and felt relieved.

This time of tribulation seemed to be passed safely, but in fact it was full of dangers. If he did not have the magical treasure "Xuanling Golden Chain" to protect his body, he would probably have been killed by the bloody thunder at the beginning.

Not to mention using heavenly thunder to temper the body.

However, just as he was about to take back all the magical weapons.

Suddenly, a series of "cracking" sounds were heard from the magical instruments.

Immediately afterwards, except for the "Xuanling Gold Chain" which was still shining as before, the rest of the magic weapons all became dim and broke apart amidst the crackling sounds.

This also includes the most precious treasure of the head of Shengya Mountain - [Wan Qingshan].

"Destiny?" Seeing this, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Now, he has become a god, and these fourth-level magic weapons are like nothing to him.

Any magical power he uses is much more powerful than the power exerted by these fourth-level magic weapons.

Therefore, he was not saddened by the collapse of Wan Qing Mountain.

On the contrary, the significance of its collapse made him even happier.

Even though... this is just far-fetched, but with his power of becoming a god, he can make it a reality!
……

The heavenly tribulation has been overcome.

Wei Tu did not stay in the air for long. He took out a regular suit from his storage bag and put it on. Then he flew to the front of the Jishan Sect leaders who were watching him transcend the tribulation outside the "Chongyan Secret Land".

"Wei Tu is a casual cultivator and is cautious by nature... I didn't tell the sect master about my breakthrough this time. I hope Sect Master Zhu won't blame me."

Before Sect Leader Zhu and the others could congratulate him on his breakthrough to the Spiritual Transformation level, Wei Tu was the first to speak and apologize.

Before this, he had used his power to intimidate other cultivators during the divine transformation tribulation.

But simply conquering people by force is not a good idea.

After all, he and Jishan Sect are not enemies.

His words were intended to dispel the resentment of Zhu Zongzhu and others towards him for knowing the truth but not reporting it.

Even though Sect Leader Zhu and the others knew that his private breakthrough was a sign of his lack of trust in them, it was still important to speak frankly about the matter and apologize.

This is about character, not strength.

If this matter is ignored just because of his great strength, even if Sect Leader Zhu and others praise him on the surface, they will inevitably feel dissatisfied in their hearts.

The words fell.

Sect Leader Zhu's face immediately showed a more relaxed look, and the smile on his face also looked more genuine.

Although Wei Tu's apology was just a casual act and seemed a bit of a show, he saw a signal from it - Venerable Wei could be approached by him and the other practitioners of Jishan Sect, and he was not arrogant because of his achievement as a Venerable.

And this is enough for him and Jishan Sect.

"Zhu Zun and I, along with our fellow disciples, are so happy for Wei Zun's breakthrough that we cannot blame him."

Sect Leader Zhu waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he dared not blame anyone.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the cultivators knew that the story of Wei Tu's private breakthrough had come to an end.

They hurriedly stepped forward and began to bow and congratulate Wei Tu.

"Congratulations, Master Wei, for entering the realm of spiritual transformation!"

"Congratulations, Palace Master Wei, you have achieved Divine Transformation!"

The voices of congratulations were endless, from the top leaders of Jishan Sect to the monks in each hall and peak of Jishan Sect, piercing through the clouds and rocks and resounding through the sky.

Amidst the sounds of congratulations, Wei Tu's gaze shifted to Sect Master Zhu, and before him was the only deity in the Jishan Sect - Venerable Han Yue.

His status in Jishan Sect cannot be recognized only by Sect Master Zhu and a group of senior leaders; he must also obtain the approval of Venerable Hanyue.

However, the attitudes of Sect Leader Zhu and others just now also allowed him to roughly understand Venerable Han Yue's attitude.

But he didn't know, after he deliberately showed off his muscles, whether Venerable Han Yue treated him as an equal, or... thought that he should be inferior to him.

After all, he was previously considered an outer disciple under Venerable Han Yue. Although the title of this disciple was only nominal. Before this, he had never even met Venerable Han Yue himself.

time flies.

Amid the bustling scene with the sound of gongs and drums, the atmosphere gradually became quieter.

until--

Venerable Han Yue smiled, bowed to Wei Tu, and said, "Fellow Daoist Wei."
